Become a mad scientist in Pop A Tronic, by Big Blue Bubble. This exciting puzzle game is about matching, popping bubbles, and filling up you beakers. They have taken the typical matching game style and stepped it up with special features. This addictive game will keep you striving to get the best score.
Like most matching games, in Pop A Tronic you are looking for three or more connected bubbles to pop. The more bubbles the better. As you are continuously looking for matches, more bubbles are coming down and will quickly fill up your area. Its fast pace will keep you on your toes, but do not get discouraged, you will get the hang of it and begin to get addicted.
Through out the game there are guides to assist you and exciting extras that may help or hinder you. Some include options that may pop a huge area of bubbles. Its game over if your page fills up with bubbles. This is more than just matching; you must use strategy to keep you score and beakers building by moving some bubbles around. It includes four different game play options but to unlock them you have to beat the goals in consecutive order. This and beating your own scores gives Pop A Tronic a replay value.
The graphics are fun and exciting with bubbles, beakers, and bombs. There is one main screen with beakers to the side and the bubble action in the middle. A unique curser allows you to quickly see what bubble you are about to control. Nothing is dull in this game and everything is fairly easy to follow and understand when different functions come into play. They use an array of colors that are not too bright to stare at. This is important when playing the game for long periods of time, which is easy to do. A few colors are slightly similar which can get confusing. Fortunately each color of bubbles has their own shape as well.
The music is poppy, fast and up beat but never seems to change during game play. Though it may seem annoying it can be used to your advantage. Each function has its own sound so you are constantly listening for the next indicating buzz, ding, or ticking. Also some special functions have their own individual sound so you know if you hear it to look for it. All of this allows you to easily recognize and determine your next move.
Pop A Tronic is a creative game to make puzzle and matching more challenging and exciting. Once you begin to play you will quickly want you beaker to fill up. Next thing you know you're hooked. With its fast pace, fun graphics, and exciting features, I rate this game a 4/5 and would defiantly recommend buying it if puzzle games are your thing.
